No away fans: Colón barred from taking support to Racing de Córdoba | OneFootball

Colón fans’ hopes of supporting the team in Córdoba have ultimately been dashed. Racing de Córdoba will host El Sabalero at the Miguel Sancho stadium and will not move the match to Mario Alberto Kempes, an option that had emerged in recent days due to the possibility of allowing a larger crowd and generating higher revenue.

The match, corresponding to Round 27 of Primera Nacional’s Zone A, is scheduled for Sunday, August 30, starting at 5 p.m., and will be played at Academia’s usual ground. The possibility of using the Kempes had raised expectations among Sabalero supporters, but it ultimately did not go ahead.

The change of venue was an alternative Racing was considering mainly for financial reasons. The possibility of welcoming a large number of Colón fans to the World Cup stadium could have meant significant ticket revenue.

Miguel Sancho, on the other hand, has a considerably smaller capacity, and the match will be played without away fans. Therefore, Colón supporters will not be able to travel to back the team from the stands.

The news comes as a blow to those supporters who had already begun planning the trip to Córdoba, especially considering the strong turnout Colón usually draws when playing away from Santa Fe.
